Been thinking about a Parker lately. Played one once.
Can they sound big? Would they be good for shred ?
Can you make these things growl with the tone of a good bolt on guitar?
Sound good in a high gain amp environment ?
I read very conflicting opinions on these things.
COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ:
Thin Tone
Tone is Unique - Different
Too Skinny of a Neck
Frets Coming Off
Limited Choices of Pick Ups
Necks are painted on back and get sticky
Expensive to Refret (have to send to Parker)
Also have read the frets are kind of flat. But after playing one I a long time ago I just remember the neck was about the fastest and smoothest I have ever seen.
But I have bigger hands and the things may be too skinny after about 2 hours or so of playing. And I can't imagine they would have a big tone like a Maple Topped Mahogany Jackson.
Any opinions or experience with any of you guys owning these?
